A couple of red flags.

This is just a guide, you only get a .pdf for your money.

They claim 'Double your mileage' and '40% more efficient' , which is it?
(IMO neither)

Why 56 days on the Money Back? Some statute of limitations that expires?

The SAE stuff I've seen says 20% hydrogen is needed to increase combustion efficiency by leaning out the gasoline from 14:1 to 20:1 or more.
A 300CID motor pulls 218CFM, so you need about 10CFM of H2 to get improvements, that's a lot of electrolysis.

Mythbusters really needs to bust this one.

Agreed...

Just the whole feel of the website as a sales gimmick reminds me of those get-rich-quick scams of lore.

And here are some other forums that I finally found:

Agreed. You could reuse the chassis, but everything else about the hydrogen fuel-cell technology is different from internal combustion engines. Retrofits are scams, at best.

It's a tax on people who fail at thermodynamics. :)

The best one is not these. Go to hydrogen-on-demand.net. It is a professional unit made of stainless steel. Works on the same principal but is professional, and they have installers so you dont have to find the parts, (they are back ordered everywhere) and you dont have to build it. It does work great. I went from 14-15mpg to 24-25mpg. Check it out http://hydrogenfuel4cars.blogspot.com/

No offense, but you're retarded if you think there are secret kits that can make your car run on water.
